All-
I am posting this here on the recommendation of someone who has been helping
me.
I have a RH 6.0 box which talks to the outside world via a cable modem. The
RH box is performing masquerading for the internal clients. I am using IP's
in the 192.168.0.x range for the internal clients. The Win 98 and Win NT
clients on the network operate fine thru the gateway (HTTP, Real Audio, FTP,
etc). The problem is a unix box, it can't talk to the outside world. My
current woes is with a Solaris 7 box but I had the same experience with a RH
box.
- All boxes can ping each other.
- All boxes can telnet, FTP, etc to each other
- The Windows boxes converse thru the gateway with no problems.
- With the unix box I can ping outside IP's but can't do a nslookup on the
name to obtain an IP.
$ /usr/sbin/ping 135.145.9.134
135.145.9.134 is alive
- If I perform a ping -s to an outside IP I get 100% packet loss.
$ /usr/sbin/ping -s 135.145.9.134
PING 135.145.9.134: 56 data bytes
^C
----135.145.9.134 PING Statistics----
4 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
- Here is the interface info from the solaris box:
$ /sbin/ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 8232
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
elxl0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.0.10 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
- The ipchains policy is pretty simple:
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A input -j FORWARD -j MASQ -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0.0
- The solaris box seems to be configured correctly (from FAQ's and newsgroup
help).
- I am not sure what do use for a domain name for the solaris box. The Win
NT box uses ne.mediaone.net per instructions from my ISP. I am using that
domainname in the solaris box
vi resolv.conf
domain ne.mediaone.net
nameserver 24.218.2.6
nameserver 24.218.64.6
nameserver 24.218.1.80
Any help you can provide would be appreciated and thank you for your time.
